Do these actually make any money?
It would be a piece of cake to churn out some shitty 10k word Minecraft fan fiction for autistic children.
I think I smell a lucrative money making opportunity here...

>>6228059
First of all the act of reading itself is not any kind of inherent positive. Secondly, the kids who would read this sort've shit are probably not going on to read anything of actual substance or worth.

A Tale of Friends, Enemies, and Minecraft?

Wait, is this like some memoir fiction? That title makes it sound like he had some nasty encounters and made enemies in a somewhat success story, which also involves playing the game minecraft. How much does minecraft have to do with this? The entire novel is him playing it or what?

>> No.6230394

His success story is writing a book about his success story and selling 14k copies

It's really very easy. See, 14,000 people do want to read this kid's slop whereas nowhere near 14,000 want to read your slop.

Cleared it up, thanks! I'll just go back to earning a living in publishing and leave you to yours. Am sure you're doing fantastic things. Excelsior!

Can you do that? Wasn't there a case a while ago when Notch shut down a +$500k startup of some Minecraft movie because they didn't ask for rights to the intellectual property?

You make a mere fraction of what I do by pretending to be important occupying a token chair in an obsolete medium already slated for destruction.

Let's not pretend earning your meagre "living" by pushing dead trees in the digital age is somehow a "fantastic thing". I'll have none of it.
